2018-07-08
Marek Piechowicz is the second player whom will stay in Gliwice. An experienced small forward got involved in another annual contract with GTK. - The previous season was quite a challenge for me, but I managed to prove that I deserve to stay in the league - admits the 30 year old basketball player.Piechowicz debuted on the highest league in Poland in Anwil Włocławek when he had 20 yeras. From that time, he alternately played on the Energa Basket Liga and first league. Undoubtedly, the best in his performance was season 2011/12, when he played for Jezioro Tarnobrzeg. Then there was one more season in the Kotwica Kołobrzeg and the player who came from Sosnowiec, back directly to the first league. After two good years in GKS Tychy, the player decided to reach Paweł Turkiewicz team. Returning to the level of the Tauron Basket League proved to be difficult, but the longer the season lasted, the better Piechowicz presented itself. In recent games he was one of the most prominent and equally playing players. This attitude was rewarded and the older brother received an offer to extend the contract. - I am very happy that I will stay in Gliwice for another year. The previous one was quite a challenge for me, but I managed to prove that I deserve to stay in the league - admits the 30 year old basketball player. - In the upcoming season, I plan to train at the highest level in order to show better performance in the matches than last year - adds the ambitious small forward.
For Piechowicz, the season 2018/19 will be the sixth at the highest level. - The previous season can be considered as a successful. As a newcomer we won many games, and in many of them with the theoretically better opponent we made surprise and also won. The new season will certainly be more difficult for our team as well as for me, but I strongly believe that we will meet all challenges. The team has undergone significant changes, we will have many new players and I am curious to see what will happen to us this season - marks the small forward, who slowly begins to prepare for increased effort. - We start the training in August, then friendly games and the beginning of the season after two months of preparation. Then you will be able to say something more. We will see how our team will develop and what is our place on the basketball map of Poland - adds the 30 year old.
